I've been looking at these for quite a while and had opted for an Eastman T184MX-LS (Lil Smokey) Thinline instead (mainly due to the Eastman neck and 1-3/4" nut, which no longer work for my fretting hand... but that's another story). I wish I had gone for the Kingpin II back then... I wouldn't need to sell the Eastman now.

I was a little concerned about that, but I measured the distance from 12th fret to the bridge and to the nut and it seems to be OK.
